Hey guys not sure which turbo will suit price/power/stealth

im after a turbo which is undetectable by cops, has more power than stock and isnt too expensive and has minimal turbo lag.

ive been looking at this hyergear g1 400hp rated turbo, its a direct bolt on for rb25 and its $1250 i have a jjr split pipe coming too so i wanna hit it all in one go.

rpm range for boost is 1500-3600 rated 20psi

link : http://digi-hardware.com/atr43.html

can i have this turbo on running 8psi like what my current turbo is running now and should it be fine? or do i need pfc with it?

current mods :

- 3.5 cat back

- return flow FMIC

- HD clutch

- BMC panel filter

the final power figure im aiming for eventually is whatever the injectors can throw out safely so 220? with 80% or 90% duty? not a gun on this part.

Thankyou in advance!

Absolutely agree with the above. Hypergear's hiflow of your existing turbo will be the closest thing to your stealth requirement and cost less than the ATR43. But don't upgrade your turbo if you're not going to upgrade everything else. At minimum you want Nistune, fuel pump, intercooler and 14 psi, + turbo upgrade or you are wasting your time. And that's just to take you to the limits of your stock injectors. Time for you to read a few sticky threads I think.

Sorry forgot to mention the main reason for this post, my turbo is making loud noise like a sander on a piece of perpex. it gets louder and more noticeable as it pass 2-3 mins of consistent WOT.

under normal driving conditions there no unusual audible sound.

thanks guys.

so best option is to get my turbo high flowed? what will the power rating be with bigger wheels on it? turbo lag etc?

2 to 3 minutes of consistent WOT... Where are you driving that thing, across seven airport runways in a row?!

Where is this place I want a go

i had this high pitched noise on my old GTT, thought it was poss the turbo but in the end it was the FMIC which had a slight leak around one of the silicone joiners. So i just pulled it all apart and put it all back together making 200% sure all was nice and snug, and got some good clamps and ditched the ones it came with. Norma ones i think?

i had a highflow hypergear on my GTT as well, nice bit of kit. Stealth, punchy and plenty of fun in a rwd Skyline. 250rwkw ish on 98. 280'ish on E85.

But like the others, no point getting the turbo, dump etc without getting something to tune it. As you have a R33, you're better off getting a power fc i reckon.

no doubt ill be gettin a pfc just wondering if i should rebuild my one or be looking at something else. whats the differences between a rebuilt highflowed r33 turbo compared to a hypergear g1 turbo in regards to power/response/ boost/cost etc.

2 to 3 minutes of consistent WOT... Where are you driving that thing, across seven airport runways in a row?!

He was actually driving an R32 with an RB20 in 3rd gear and at 3,000 RPM. It was slightly uphill.

Like others have said you will need to upgrade more if you are changing the turbo, seems a waste to upgrade the turbo and only get 1/10th of the upgrade it can offer. This is what id be doing

Fuel pump

Some sort of injectors if not an adjustable reg

3 inch dump

Aftermarket computer. Weather it be a nistune or power fc

Maybe a EBC

Z32 afm

Turbo

Tune

But doing all of that if a cop sees something he does't like he will defect you, so really if you went for a garrett a trubo is going to be the least of your worries as he will probally get you for to low etc.

sweet guys thanx for all ur help. Im gonna just drive it around like a granny till i save up for a hypergear highflow, pfc, injectors, fuel pump, 3" turbo back, ebc, z32 afm or map sensor. and a sexy tune!

sex!

thanks again guys.

-split dump

-venom hi-flow cat

Get those done first.

What sort of CAI are you running? If you haven't already upgraded that yet do that before you go altering the turbo. Even if it is just a good panel filter in the stock box.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
